Chapter 171.2 : Tobirama in Campione World!

Yet, the King of Swords exhibited not the slightest inkling of wrongdoing, even meeting Voban's ire head-on, engaging in direct conflict.

Incensed as Voban was, while the two refrained from employing full force, they nevertheless traversed the threshold, utilizing at least fifty percent of their combat prowess.

The aftermath witnessed the destruction of several islands, tsunami surges, and the annihilation of countless port cities.

Were it not for various mitigating circumstances hindering Voban from unleashing his full might, one can only speculate whether the European continent would have been decimated in this single confrontation.

They had initially intended to lend support to a puppet.

But now, it's all right; I'm tasked with handling my own mess every day!

"Your Majesty, the Marquis is set to duel Master Luo Hao of China in a few months, vying for the strongest title."

"It's fortunate that this time around you didn't overplay your hand; you can flex it and replay the game," whispered a senior member of the Magic Society.

Campione, possessing the power to unravel the world, no matter how casually spoken, others wouldn't dare to disregard his words.

"Understood, understood," Doni waved dismissively.

But joking aside, what mischief did you stir up to provoke the Marquis of Voban? Wouldn't it be splendid to gain an advantage while he and Luo Hao clash? Dealing with one opponent is not as stimulating as dealing with two.

When he first ascended to the role of Campione, he sparred with Luo Hao. The Martial Arts King employed innumerable sword techniques, resulting in a stalemate, an encounter he never forgot.

In recent years, his strength has soared, and with a newly acquired power in hand, he must test it.

"What!"

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated at a visible rate.

Doni expressed slight disappointment, "It appears that the old marquis places defeating Luo Hao above all else. Even if you snatch his power, he'll endure it."

Several high-ranking magicians nearby rolled their eyes internally.

Otherwise, could they sit here leisurely sipping red wine? Who doesn't know that Marquis Voban spends his days boxing, training, indulging in various sports, martial arts, even seeking out the Heretic God, and attempting to enhance his power?

And all this with the ultimate aim of defeating the Martial Arts King in China. If Voban doesn't confront Luo, he'll take you on instead.

The Heretic God in Voban's possession is like taking meat from the mouth of a hungry wolf king.

What Doni wasn't aware of was that though Voban restrained himself, his fury was rapidly dissipating. The reason for his retreat was the sudden appearance of a light curtain before him.

"The Ninja World Gold List?"

"Communicating with beings from another realm," Voban mused aloud, his thoughts swirling with the weight of the revelation.

"The other party seeks to claim my inheritance, yet they require my consent," he continued, pondering the implications. "I possess the option to relinquish my inheritance alone, or to surrender it in its entirety. But can I, in turn, request something from the other party?"

As Voban absorbed the information, he harbored no doubts regarding the existence of the Golden List. Golden List's transmission of information, coupled with the suppression of his own strength, served as undeniable evidence. He sensed a vulnerability surpassing that of even a Campione—a power beyond comprehension.

Before ascending to the rank of Campione, he had felt the limitations, a feat even Luo Hao could not achieve. Such power lay beyond the realm of Campiones. He reasoned that even if this power were merely a legend, the last king—intent on eradicating all Campiones—could not possess such overwhelming strength.

With no means of resistance apparent to him, Voban placed his trust in the truth of these revelations. "As the elder's investigation confirms, the dimension indeed exists. Should one vanquish the last king, the ability to traverse this dimension becomes attainable."

Reflecting on his aspirations, Voban realized a shift in perspective. "No matter my strength, I cannot bring about the destruction of the world. I can only cleanse and preserve it."

"I had initially sought to augment my power, inching closer to the capability of obliterating a planet with a single strike," he admitted. "Yet, perhaps this is the opportunity I've been awaiting."

A spark of wisdom ignited in Voban's eyes as he contemplated the prospect. Intrigued, the old marquis activated the light curtain, signaling the commencement of the Golden List's interaction.

"The Golden List initiates its connection," the system announced. "Information transmission begins. Trading time commences."

As the countdown neared its final seconds, anticipation filled the air. Then, at the stroke of ten, a human figure materialized within the confines of the light curtain.

As Tobirama traversed the terrain, he encountered the Marquis of War.

In turn, the Marquis laid eyes upon Uchiha Ran and allied with Tobirama.

"Show me what you've got," Tobirama challenged.

"Water Style Ninjutsu, Fire Style Ninjutsu, Earth Style Ninjutsu, Lightning Style Ninjutsu, Wind Style Ninjutsu, Inter-group Ninjutsu..."

"Akin to magic, potent yet mundane..." The Marquis' eyes twinkled with amusement.

Tobirama's expression twitched with difficulty.

A myriad of onlookers shared the involuntary facial tic.

Even the Second Hokage's Ninjutsu didn't escape scrutiny.

Could this be a boss battle?

"This individual's strength rivals Kaguya's after consuming the Chakra fruit," Uchiha Ran interjected at a crucial moment. "Yet, their combat prowess exceeds Madara's and their strategic acumen surpasses the first hokage's."

A palpable tension gripped everyone.

Uchiha Ran's elucidation on the realm of Campiones painted a grim picture: the Campione of this world was no easy adversary.

Could it be that a mere mortal had slain the Sage of Six Paths and usurped his might?

But none had anticipated soaring to heights beyond Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!

At that moment, the Marquis gazed upon Uchiha Ran with a glint in his eyes. "You are formidable."

"Indeed," Uchiha Ran chuckled. "Confronting you feels like child's play."
